Browesinfo file issue - agaian

I have written about a problem with PW60.browsefile files already earlier this year.
http://www.dl-c.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=705
I thought it was a singular issue with a maybe corrupted file, but today I had the same problems, with all folders i have tried.
Opening a folder in browser updates the browser infromation, even when a PW60.browseinfo file already exists in that folder.

The bottom window shows the file before opening in PWP, the upper the file after opening the folder and re-. reading the info.
They are the same size exactly and the images were not modified in any way.
Jonathan, Kiril, would it be helpful if I send a before and after file per mail?

Did daylight savings time just start in Germany?

Yes Jonathan, it did start on Sunday, and it was the first time today I worked with PWP since then.

Jonathan, your question about daylight saving time made me rethink the first occurence of that issue.
I use synchronisation with a standard time saver via internet for my PC-clock.
Normally the the synchronisation is a fraction of a second in the morning when I boot it.
The first occurence was in january, after the christmas and new years holiday, and I had not booted my main PC since over 2 weeks because I was not home.
And the CMOS battery was weak already, I repaced it in february because the clock was off more then 1 hour over night and my synchronisation program gives a warning in that case.
So I guess my PC-clock was off several minutes after the christmas holiday.
Could this be related with the problem with pwbrowseinfo-files ?

It would have to be a time zone change to cause problems - Browse does not use the current time.

Thanks Jonathan!

So i guess the first case was a somehow corrupted file.

It could happen if you browse a folder that was in a different daylight savings time than currently in effect. So if you have not browsed a folder for some time, this problem could occur months later than the browse file was created.
